SEWER-BASIN HEAD.

Application filed March 7, 1923. Serial No. 623,472.

To allzu/m t may concern.'

Be it known that l, -Jol-IN J. FAGAN, a cti'- Zen of the United States, and a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sewer-Basin Heads, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to sewer basin heads.

The general object of this invention is thev provision of a simply constructed basin head including av main body section anda curb section loosely `mounted in thebody section interlocking with the members provided on the latter so that the curb section'may be detached from the main body section.

This object is accomplished by providing a body ksection having an openingtherein and presenting vertical side walls defining the opening, forming on the vertical side walls flanges on which the curb section may be slidably mounted, providing on the flanges pins for engaging the curb section, attaching it to the body section when the former is in position and utilizing the grate for retaining the curb section in position.

This and other objects of the invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the sewer basin head assembled;

Figure 2 isa vertical section along the line 2 2, Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a vertical section along the line 3-3, Figure 2.

Referring to the above-mentioned drawings, the invention includes a body section 10 consisting of an annular plate 11 supporting vertical walls 12 defining an opening 13. Formed on the vertical walls defining the front section of the opening is an inwardly projecting flange 14. Two short flanges are provided on the side walls in alinement with the flange 14 and located near the rear of the'opening 13. A. plate 16 is formed integral with the vertical walls at the rear of the opening and extends over a portion of the opening, the top of the plate 16 being in alinement with the top of the vertical walls 12. As shown in Figure 2, the flanges 15 overlap the plate 16 and are spaced below the same. Formed on the forward ends of the flanges 15 and projecting forward in a horizontal plane are pins 17. The ends of the pins 17 do not project forward to the ends of the flange 14 but are spaced therefrom a desired distance. In order to increase the strength ofthe body 10 webs 18 are formed integral with the annular plate 11 and the vertical walls 12.

As shown in Figure 2, the body 10 is placed on a foundation 19, defining the opening leadin into the sewer, the tops of the vertical wa ls of the body being positioned in alinement with the surface of the street 20. The inner section of the body extends beneath the sidewalk 21, locating the flanges 15 beneath the edge of the sidewalk or a curb.

A curb section 23 for vmounting in the rear section of the opening 13 adjacent the plate 16 is provided. This curb section somewhat resembles an inverted box in shape, presenting a rear wall 24, a front wall 25 and two end walls 26. The front wall is deeper than the end walls and has formed on its lower edge a flange 27 -for projecting between the flanges 15 and the plate 16 when the curb section is in position. The rear wall slopes away from the vertical as it progresses towards the flange portion. The over-all height of this wall is equal to the distance from the tops of the flanges 15 to the top of the sidewalk 21.` The front wall 25 is cut away at 29, forming two depending arms which extend below the flanges 15. Openings 28 are provided in the depending arms 30 in alinement with the pins 17 for receiving the latter to attach the curb section to the body when in position. In mounting the curb section in position the flange 27 is moved along the flanges 15, projecting it between the flanges 15 and the plate 16. The end walls 26 seat on the vertical walls 12, and the o enings 28 in the arms 30 receive the pins 1 'The front wall 25 of the curb section lies flush-with the outer wall of the.` curb or sidewalk 21. A grating 31 is then mounted in the front section of the opening 13 seating on the flange 14. This grating serves to retain the curb section 23 in position.

From the above it will be seen that a sewer basin head has been provided including a curb section which interlocks with members provided on the body section of the basin head. This curb section is retained in position by means of the grating 31. In order to remove the curb section 23 for replacement it is only necessary to remove the grating 31 sor i; l) v and draw the curb section outward, disengaging it from the members provided on the body 10.

would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, I do not limit myself strictly to the exact details herein illustrated since manifestly the same will be considerably varied without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims. f

Claims: i 1. A sewer basin head, comprising a body having an opening therethrough, said body lpresenting walls defining, the opening, a

cover extending` over the rear section of the opening, supporting members carried by said walls and extending inward, a curbsee- :tion provided with a rearwardly extending vflange mounted on the supporting members,

said -flangeprojecting beneath the cover over the rear section of the opening, and a grating for mounting in thefront section of the opening, said grating serving lto yfix the curb section in position in the body.'

2. In a sewer basin head, comprising a body having an opening extending therethrough, said body presenting` walls defin- -ing .the opening, supports formed ron said walls and extending inward, acurb section prov-idedwith a rearwardly extending flange for 4mounting on 'said supports, means pro'- videdon the supports for positively engaging the'curb section, means carried-:by the body-for seating over said curb flange when v the curb section is in position in the body,

opening at the rear of the body, flanges formed on the vertical walls and projecting inwardly, a curb section formed -with a flange integral with its rear wall and extending outward, said curb vsection being mounted adjacent said cover resting on the flanges providedv on the vertical walls, the curb section flange projecting beneath the cover, and a.grating mounted in the frontsection of the opening resting on the flanges provided on the vertical walls, said ygrating serving to lretain the curb Asection in position. f

4. A sewer basin head, comprising a body said body `presenting vertical walls defining the opening, a plate lformed on the body and extending over a portion ofthe rear section of said opening, flanges formed on fthe lvertical walls and projecting inward, a
